Moto E (2nd Generation) Vs Moto E (1st Gen) Comparison

Moto E was the most successful branded budget Android SmartPhone from Motorola. It was the phone that lifted the hopes of Motorola in the Smartphones segment. Moto E was cheap but it does not compromise on quality and features. I think it was the only branded Smartphone which was priced less than Rs. 7000/- and was equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and Android 4.4 (Kitkat) at the time when it was launched. It was a budget Android phone but had almost all the features that you can find in any mid level or mid range Android Smartphone that were priced above Rs. 12k.

Now Motorola has come up with its more advanced and the future version of Moto E, which is known as Moto E Second Generation or Moto E (2nd Gen.) or Moto E2 or Moto E+1. The Second Generation of Moto E will be launched in India on March 10, 2015.
